Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
After a call for the floor, we checked in on Ralph Massey's table, and apparently Nik Stone had opened for a raise and been three-bet to 27,500 by Massey. Stone tried to call the raise, but accidentally put out a few too many chips. Stone had put out more than half of another bet and was forced to min-raise. Massey shoved all in for 190,500, and Stone thought about it for a couple of minutes before letting his hand go.
Players are on a 10-minute break.

Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Joe Illingworth has taken his early slump in stride and continues to fight the good fight with a short stack. He doubled up after jamming 17,500 in late position recently with 
and was called by Steve Vang's 
in the big blind. The board ran out 
, giving Illingworth the pot with trips.
"Still alive," Illingworth said. "That's all that matters."

Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jeremy Dresch opened for 9,500 in middle position and saw Phil Mader three-bet to 27,500. Dresch asked Mader to verify his stacks and then shoved all in. Mader took a final peak at his hole cards and softly announced a call.
Dresch:
Mader:
A 
flop meant Dresch was nearly dead, and the 
ended things on the turn. Dresch chided Mader for his double-check.
"You have to insta-call with kings," he said. "You take more than two seconds, I don't think you have kings."
"I have to look again," Mader said with a smile. "Us old guys forget s*** sometimes."

We found Nik Stone all in for 95,000 preflop, having shoved over an open of 9,500 from a player in early position. On the button, Sam DeSilva moved all in over that, folding out the raiser and everyone else.
Stone:
DeSilva:
Stone had a foot in the grave after 
hit the board, but an river saved him.
